Ted Spurling seated in wide arm chair working on knot. Caption attached on back was removed. “Ted Spurling, licensed skipper and lobsterman, whiles away hours weaving Turk’s heads from warp. Used as decorative collars on sailing vessels in the past, the Turk’s heads are a popular gift shop item used as candle stick holders. Ted is part of the Oceanarium team.”
